Reading the documentation suggests that this is know problem with
mod_proxy (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html,
Request Bodies section).

No, it doesn't suggest that. It usually works.

What do you exactly mean by "fail"? Can you increase the log level of Apache
to debug, retry and post the error log lines written when handling the
"failed" request? Caution: debug produces lots of output, so best to use a
test system on which you can reproduce "fails".


Rainer, my bad. I meant I get a 400 Bad Request.

Will see if I can increase the verbosity of the logs.

OK, it would be interesting, whether the reverse proxy itself sees a bad request, or the origin (backend) server.

One possibility for such a bad request could be having a content-length header plus transfer encoding chunked. Remember we always have to distinguish whether we are talking about the original request received by the proxy, or the request send from the proxy to the origin server.

Rainer
